Only a few are here to stay. The rest just go away. Maples let go of their vast storage of whirly birds. The mighty Firs strip their trunks bare to warm the cold ground, and make a soft blanket for those in their snug holes under the dirt, so black. As well as a welcoming mat, for those who come back.

1. Ferraris stink of gas and unnecessary pollution, whereas flowers not only smell good, they are very good for the natural environment because they feed the bees and many animals. 2. Flowers acquire their beautiful looks naturally and those looks last all their lives, Ferraris have to get paint jobs every few months.3. Most people who have Ferraris are very snobby, whereas people who have flowers are not. 4. Flowers are beautiful no matter what kind they are. Most Ferrari kinds are quite ugly. 5. If you crush up flowers (sometimes) you can make dyes. All you get if you crush up a Ferrari is a crushed up Ferrari (and a really mad car owner).6. Flowers can grow in two different habitats, the wild and your garden. Ferraris can only grow.... no where.7. If you put flowers on your cakes or dresses or shoes it will make them look much better. All that will happen if you put a Ferrari on all those things is: a squashed cake, a torn dress, and oily shoes.8. You can put flowers in a lovely vase full of water and nothing bad will happen to them. If you put a Ferrari in a vase of water it will rust. And that dear people is 'Why Flowers Are Better Than Ferraris'Bye!Bekah PS The views expressed in this post are mostly just opinions and are not meant as offence to anyone i.e. I'm just a poor girl who has a brother who thinks anyone would be crazy not to love Ferraris. However, I do not love Ferraris and I believe the feeling is mutual.

JOYis laughter without fearis the baby's first cry is having your family nearis when pink shows through the night sky is the day you adopt a puppyis a hug from your little buddy is the unspoiled moment of pure happiness

I'm eleven,soon to be twelve :), years old and I live just outside of Fort Langley, B.C. on two acres of forest with my mom, dad, Sarah (my sister), Matt (my brother), Taffy (our dog), and Moe and Sugar (my two cats). Our current housing is a teeny (and I meanteeny:)!) tiny 100 year cabin and with a lawn that only looks nice when there's four feet of snow outside (then the fence is covered too:)!) See what I mean?

:)

Though soon we'll be tearing the cabin down and we'll move into our barn/ carriage house (which is a building with a house on top and a garage on the bottom) that we built across from the cabin and it's beautiful!!

See?

We'll live there until we finish building our big house, which will stand where the cabin was. Then we'll move into the big house and rent out the carriage house :)

Moe and Sugar (my cats, remember? :)) won't be too happy about moving out of the cabin though, because they inhabit the basement (which is basically a whole bunch of cement floor and storage, but they like it :)) and when we knock down the cabin, there goes their bedroom!! I don't think they'll like their new quarters in the barn's garage as much, but as my mother would say "they're just cats"!Though I'm sure that my family would agree with me (though they may not make that fact known) when I say " They're part of our family." :)

Moe (girl) on the left, Sugar (boy) on the right :)

(I know, gender confused names :)!Moe is for Mohawk, she has one :) and Sugar, well if you knew him you would soon realize why!)
